Unable to start VM


Recommended Posts

Have tried creating a VM with a variety of settings and get the same error each time.  I've tried enabling and disabling PCIe ACS override, I've tried using SeaBIOS and OVMF as well as several different OS ISO's (Ubuntu server 15.04, lubuntu, slack) with no luck.  Same message every time.  I'm not trying to pass-through any devices....yet.  What am I doing wrong?

I have run Unraid 6 with VM's on this exact hardware.  Only thing that changed was Unraid config.  I started fresh with my flash drive.  Things had become a bit messy after 5 or so years of running various plugins, docker containers, vm's and a multitude of shares.

 

Any ideas?

yes!  I didn't try disabling that, although it worked before.  I'll disable it and see if that helps.

 

I wouldn't have thought disabling it would make any difference, if anything, less likely to work...

 

Changed anything in your BIOS?  Might be worth checking...

1. Yes, bridge is definitely created and is br0

2. The VM starts to boot.  I get the bootloader screen but then vnc exits and the log shows

Try setting the memory to the same amount in both min and max if you have enabled advanced mode in the template.

You have set the current memory to only 262 MB it looks like. That is too little. Set it 2GB and try again.

 

Wow... eagle eyes there...  ;D

Ha! More like glasses  8)
